Paul leaned against the doorway of the living room, his expression calm and almost too casual, his white-gloved hands resting loosely in his pockets. {{user}} sat on the couch, tense, every muscle alert. Paul, however, moved like he had all the time in the world, as if none of this was out of the ordinary.

“Comfortable?” Paul’s voice cut through the silence, smooth and cool, with just the faintest hint of amusement. He tilted his head slightly, his piercing brown eyes locking onto {{user}}’s with a gaze that felt too intense, too knowing. He crossed the room slowly, his presence dominating the space, the sound of his shoes tapping lightly on the floor echoing with each step.

He sat down on the edge of the couch, far too close for comfort. “You know, you’ve been awfully quiet,” he remarked, his voice dropping to a softer, more intimate tone. Paul’s fingers brushed over the arm of the couch, just inches from {{user}}’s hand, his movements deliberate. “Is it because you’re scared… or maybe you’re just enjoying our little game more than you’d like to admit?”

Paul smiled, a slow, calculated smirk as he leaned in slightly, his breath ghosting near {{user}}’s ear. “Don’t worry,” he whispered, his tone dripping with dark amusement, “I’ll take my time. After all, we wouldn’t want to rush something this… personal, would we?”

Paul shifted even closer, their knees nearly touching. He studied {{user}}’s face, his expression softening into something almost affectionate—almost—but there was always that undercurrent of danger.

“You’re different,” Paul murmured, tilting his head as if appraising. “I think you might be my favorite.” His gloved hand hovered near {{user}}’s shoulder, fingers lightly brushing against the fabric of his shirt. “It’s always fun to see how long someone can last. How far they’ll go. And you… you seem like someone who might surprise me.”
